China News Network, Nanchang, July 9 (Wu Pengquan) A reporter learned from the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University on the 9th that the hospital recently performed surgery through a "rebound pipa" method to successfully remove the lobes of a "mirror" patient.

  According to the hospital, the above-mentioned patient found that his lung minister had a nodule during the physical examination, so he went to the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University for treatment. Hospital doctors picked up the patient's CT film and found that it was "different from ordinary people", and all the internal organs such as heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney and other organs were "reverse", which is a rare "mirror".

  Medical staff of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University found that the patient's nodule was located in his "lower left lung lobe", with a diameter of about 1.1x0.8CM. It was a high-risk nodule and required surgery as soon as possible, so the patient was admitted to hospital.

  "'Mirror Man' is a rare congenital malformation with an incidence of about one in one million." Tang Jian, the patient's attending doctor and deputy chief physician of the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University, was interviewed by a reporter from China News on the 9th Said, "The single-hole 3D thoracoscopic lower left lung resection we performed for the patient is a minimally invasive thoracic surgery that is more technically difficult, plus the patient's internal organs are'reverse', the operation is like'facing the mirror. Knit sweater'."

  Tang Jian said that the operation for the "mirror" needs to pay attention to whether there are other blood vessels and trachea variations and deformities, so 3D reconstruction before surgery is particularly important.

  The hospital said that after the patient was admitted to the ward, the medical staff used the chest CT of the patient to perform three-dimensional reconstruction. The reconstructed 3D model was used to stereoscopically, intuitively and clearly present the bronchial structure at all levels of the patient's chest "reverse position" and its relationship with the tumor. , The positional relationship between blood vessels, and then preoperative planning for patients.

  On July 7, after more than one hour of surgery, the lung lobe of the patient's tumor was completely removed, and lymph node dissection was performed in parallel. (Finish)
